Initially designed to run on AT & T Hobbit-based hardware, BeOS was later modified to run on PowerPC-based processors: first Be's own systems, later Apple Inc .' s PowerPC Reference Platform and Common Hardware Reference Platform, with the hope that Apple would purchase or license BeOS as a replacement for its then aging Mac OS.

In fact, the first system to clock the ISA bus at 8 MHz was the turbo 8088 clones that clocked the processors at 8 MHz.

One of the first start-ups to design MIPS processors was Quantum Effect Devices ( see next section ).

The MIPS design team that designed the R4300i started the company SandCraft, which designed the R5432 for NEC and later produced the SR71000, one of the first out-of-order execution processors for the embedded market.

The first was quickly resolved when Lexra promised not to advertise their processors as MIPS-compatible.

National Semiconductor had been first with its IMP-16 and PACE processors in 1973-1975, but these had issues with speed.

The processors for the first Microvision cartridges were made with both Intel 8021 ( cross licensed by Signetics ) and Texas Instruments TMS1100 processors.

The Intel i8086 microprocessor, the first 16-bit microprocessor in the line of processors made by Intel and used in IBM PCs,

One notable exception was Apple Inc., the Macintosh set of computers of which used non-Intel processors from its inception ; first the Motorola 68000 family, then the PowerPC architecture until 2006, when Apple adopted the Intel x86 architecture.

Servers use those processors and other readily available non-x86 processor choices, including the Sun Microsystems UltraSPARC, Fujitsu SPARC64 III and later, SGI MIPS, Intel Itanium, Hewlett Packard PA-RISC, Hewlett-Packard ( merged with Compaq which acquired first Digital Equipment Corporation ) DEC Alpha, IBM POWER and Apple Computer PowerPC ( specifically G4 and G5 series, as well as earlier PowerPC 604 and 604e series ) processors.

Motorola was the first to supply AltiVec enabled processors starting with their G4 line.

The 635 was likely the first example of a general purpose SMP system, though the GECOS / GCOS software treated the processors as a master and up to three slaves.

* The S / 370-XA architecture, first available in early 1983 on the 3081 and 3083 processors, provided a number of major enhancements, including: expansion of the address space from 24-bits to 31-bits ; facilitating movement of data between two address spaces ; and a complete redesign of the I / O architecture.

To address RS / 6000 commercial applications and AS / 400 systems, IBM Rochester ( the home of the AS / 400s ) started developing the first of the high-end 64-bit PowerPC processors with AS / 400 extensions, and IBM Endicott started developing a low-end single-chip PowerPC processor with AS / 400 extensions.

The CM-1 and 2 came first in models with 64K ( 65, 536 ) bit-serial processors ( 16 processors per chip ) and later smaller configurations ( 16, 384 ( 16K ) and 4, 096 ( 4K ) processors ).

The first step in using a formula is to insert the numerical values of the factors involved in their correct positions in the formula.

Plank the sides first, using glue and one-inch, No. 12 Stronghold nails at all battens, the stem and the transom.

The first item in the operand, IOCSIXF, is used to specify the first IOCS index word for programs using tape files.

Moreover, by systematically varying the operating conditions in the first stage and always using the optimal Af-stage policy for the remaining stages, we shall eventually find the optimal policy for all R stages.

Some extremists went so far as to urge our using it first.

I have been using the word `` vocational '' as a layman would at first sight think it should be used.

Atomic timekeeping services started experimentally in 1955, using the first caesium atomic clock at the National Physical Laboratory, UK ( NPL ).

) provided the first evidence for the neural bases of altruistic giving in normal healthy volunteers, using functional magnetic resonance imaging.

An alternate approach, using a different formula for the variance, first computes the sample mean,

Even greater accuracy can be achieved by first computing the means, then using the stable one-pass algorithm on the residuals.

For the first time, the tactic of using two express bowlers in tandem paid off as Jack Gregory and Ted McDonald crippled the English batting on a regular basis.

In recognition of her additions to Menabrea's paper, which included a way to calculate Bernoulli numbers using the machine, she has been described as the first computer programmer.

Mawson Station started using classic Volkswagen Beetles, the first production cars to be used in Antarctica.

On September 11, 2008, a United States Air Force C-17 Globemaster III successfully completed the first landing in Antarctica using night-vision goggles at Pegasus Field.

Moody and Sankey began publishing their compositions in 1875, and " Amazing Grace " appeared three times with three different melodies, but they were the first to give it its title ; hymns were typically published using the first line of the lyrics, or the name of the tune such as " New Britain ".

Seventy years later, the first gaseous condensate was produced by Eric Cornell and Carl Wieman in 1995 at the University of Colorado at Boulder NIST-JILA lab, using a gas of rubidium atoms cooled to 170 nanokelvin ( nK ) ().

* 1958 – Pioneer 0, America's first attempt at lunar orbit, is launched using the first Thor-Able rocket and fails.

The works of this poetess are significant, because although they start out using the third person, they shift to the first person voice of the poet herself, and they mark a significant development in the use of cuneiform.

It is noted as the first battle in history won by small arms fire using gunpowder.

* 1944 – The 1st Air Commando Group using Sikorsky R-4 helicopters stage the first use of helicopters in combat with CSAR operations in the China-Burma-India theater.

* 1894 – The first ever commercial motion picture house opened in New York City using ten Kinetoscopes, a device for peep-show viewing of films.

* 1919 – Leslie Irvin of the United States makes the first successful voluntary free-fall parachute jump using a new kind of self-contained parachute.
